Authors retract major COVID-19 paper on effects of hydroxychloroquine

[Nostra]

It’s always bad when you retract a paper but here the issue is that the hospital system isn’t letting anyone confirm the findings by looking at the dataset. This doesn’t seem to have serious ethical lapses, at least not yet.

Still, hydroxychloroquine isn’t coming back. We’ve pretty much moved on.

For example, it apparently has no effect as a post-exposure prophylaxis.

we've pretty much put covid in our rear view mirror and moved onto something else to keep people fighting.

starting to feel like that's all any of this is on a global vs nationalist level.

I don’t know what you mean by global vs nationalist level. I agree we are careening from one crisis to the next lately. It was a few years of comparatively smooth sailing but things catch up to you eventually.

COVID is still around and it’ll be around for a while.

Just like any other cold.

The cold doesn’t kill over 100k in a few months.

Very unlike any cold.

This virus is a wimp. No cold doesn't but it will be around and I won't be hunkering down in fear wearing masks either. Same with flu.

The virus has caused far more damage than the sum total of every riot in the last week.

But numerous orders of magnitude.

Ok. And 80 percent of the people who died from the virus were over 75 and had compromised immune systems. So....whats the correlation of a virus and riots?

The reaction on the right. Riots were a catastrophe. The virus is a “wimp”. Yet the actual impact is the exact opposite.

I feel like the right has a problem with perspective, either that or they’re using riots to support a political agenda. Wouldn’t be the first time.

These riots are not a catastrophe?

It was Surgisphere's flat out refusal to allow any outside access to any of their source data or code that was the final nail in the coffin. The request was prompted when 180 scientists signed a letter outlining what they perceived as inconsistencies in the data. They were also concerned about the fact that they had never of the company, their spokesperson is a porn star, and the "science editor" is a science fiction writer.

One of individuals raising concerns was quoted as saying "A first-year statistics major could tell you about major flaws in the design of the analysis."

Surgisphere has flat out refused to allow anyone to view their source data or code after people became suspicious. In some cases they were including results regarding more Coronavirus cases than the area had even experienced at the time. I don't see how you can say there's nothing suspicious here.

The lesson I get from this is that there are actually people---Democrats---who will falsify evidence/conclusions to keep a drug off the market which might well save lives---apparently commit Felonies, for political reasons, specifically, to hurt Don Trump.

It is a malignant strain of Trump Deragngement Syndrome which features Depravity.

Feelings are irrelevant. Both events are being used to support a political agenda and the regular folk will be getting the short end. It's gonna get much much worse.

feelings are irrelevant, but they’re being used to scare people about riots.

No, film is

Night after night we watch blacks looting, burning, and stealing but it's the fault of White Supremacists.

Are you telling me that you haven’t seen any white people doing anything of the sort?

The authors knew the study was a pantload from the outset. The goal was always the same: Orange Man Bad. These people are sick and the media is sicker.

Authors retract major COVID-19 paper on effects of hydroxychloroquine

A major study on the effects of hydroxychloroquine on COVID-19 patients was retracted from a leading medical journal Thursday after doctors and scientists raised questions about the validity o…

thehill.com

we still listening to the experts? info that was used to attack trump has been suddenly retracted... wonder if the attacks on him for staying with it will get retracted also or do we get the usual MEH and the screaming about something else kicks in?

That study was retracted because surgisphere wouldnt provide their database used in the study.
But there are plenty of other studies showing that hydroxchlorquine doesnt help.
Your better off eating healthy, getting enough vitamin-D, zinc, avoiding sugar.

It's a loosely organized group. You know it and I'm not playing your stupid reindeer games.

You showed colors in another post when you made it perdonal against Trump.

I have feelings about Trump’s personality. It’s of people do.

But I was asking you why you labeled them Antifa. I think it’s more likely that you have no reason than you not wanting to play “reindeer games” whatever the hell that means.

No, actually it is a weak virus and it's becoming weaker everyday. The riots, looters, antifa, thieves, are all a disaster from the left. The only political agenda is a fear pumping leftist media who pushes racism, hate, and division. You seriously need to adjust your compass because it's way off.

 

[jc456]

Amazing how the media pumped out the fear and propaganda but lost their memory about the virus when all these rioters, freaks, thieves, protesters started burning down cities and gathered in massive groups all huddled together like fire ants.

They said they would
